A question to the floor...
NOTE: Upon some good advice - I am moving this thread to the eyepiece area.
I came home from vacation to find out that my refrigerator had created a lovely waterfall in my basement. My telescope eyepieces, having been stored in protective plastic boxes that filled up with water, had all been under water for almost two weeks.
Insurance says I need to try to "get them dried out and fixed". I don't think my Televue Panaoptic will ever be the same -
Who could I send these to, or send a picture to to get an estimate for fixing the eyepieces?
Has anyone else ever gone through this before (insurance, adjustors, ect)?
My panoptic now looks like a kaleidoscope...
While I understand I can send in the panoptic to Televue, I also have several $50 to $75 eyepieces that I have collected that were damaged, as well as some less expensive diagnals (20 - $40). I suspect that it would cost more to get these cleaned than they would cost to replace.
Thanks for any suggestions - Ben
